J Rides is aimed at helping older adults who don’t drive avoid social isolation and improve their health. Seniors don’t have to be members of the JCCNV to take advantage of J Rides; it’s open to ambulatory adults 55+ taking a class or attending an event at the facility.To participate in J Rides, seniors should obtain a passenger application at the JCCNV front desk, 8900 Little River Turnpike, Fairfax, or call 703-537-3074. Rides should be requested at least five days in advance.

People who want to volunteer as J Rides drivers need to complete an application and attend a brief orientation session. Volunteers will have access to NV Rides’ scheduling software.
